In what regard is the Ruby Fund essential for AOII members?

The Ruby Fund is essential for AOII members primarily because it serves to assist sisters who are in need. Established to offer financial support in times of personal crisis, the Ruby Fund ensures that members have access to resources during difficult situations, such as illness, loss of employment, or other emergencies. This fund exemplifies the sisterhood and support network that AOII promotes, reinforcing the values of compassion and community among its members.

While supporting fun events, providing scholarships, and raising awareness are valuable activities within the organization, they do not directly address the core purpose of the Ruby Fund. The focus on helping sisters in need highlights AOII's commitment to its members' wellbeing, making this fund an integral part of its mission.
